A QUESTION OF EXPEDIENCY.
Certain influential Democrats
in the State have issued a call,
(which is published in full in
another column,) under which
a convention will be held in Col
umbia to discuss the present
political situation, and suggest
the remedy for it. These lead
ers are our natural political al
lies, and we believe that most
of them are laboring unselfishly
to redeem the State. We wish,
therefore, that we could agree
with them as to the expediency
of their latest move, but we
cannot. We have had enough
conventions. If the people are
let alone they will come togeth
er before another two years rolls
around, and nothing else but a
campaign of “masterly inactiv
ity” on our part at this time
will bring them together. That’s
our firm and unalterable con
viction. It’s too late to discuss
the political situation for this
year, and too early to begin to
discuss it for 1890. There would
be no chance to elect any ticket
that might be put up at this con
vention. To go into a fight with
the Conservatives of some six or
seven such counties as Charles
ton, Richland and Sumter un
able to help us would be like a
general going into battle with
out several of his “crack” regi
ments. The point has been
made that the Conservatives
who voted partial tickets at
the primary election in those
counties are not bound to sup
port the party nominees for that
portion of the ticket which they
“scratched”. We do not think
this position can be successfully
maintained. The rule provides
that the managers “shall re
quire every voter at a Demo
cratic primary to pledge himself
to support the nominees”. No
exception is made of a class who
may vote to fill one office on the
ticket and “scratch” the ne .t.
Every voter is bound by the re
sult, even the man who may
have voted to fill the office of
Coroner and nothing else. To
encourage the people to regard
their obligations lightly is to
preach a doctrine worse even
than Tillmanism itself, and is a
comse which we feel sure none
of our leaders would approve of.
Call For A State Convention.
To the Democrats of South Car
olina-.
The following preamble and
resolutions having been adopted
by a representative body of
Democrats, coming from a large
majotity of the counties of the
State, and having since been ap
proved by many Democrats in
all of the counties of the State,
it becomes my duty as chair
man of the Democratic confer
ence committee, of South Caro
lina, to publish them to the
State, and to earnestly urge all
true Democrats to take active
part in the mass meetings pn -
posed to be held, and to send
representative delegations to
the Democratic State Conven
tion therein recommended.

ence Committee.

Information was received
Whereas, under the guidance
of those so-called Democrats, or
a majority of them, who have
control of the party machinery
in this State, ;he leaders of the
rank and file of the party have
attempted to commit them to
the Third party and to Popu
list doctrines, have allienated
us from our fellow-Democrats
of the Union, and have brought
the party in South Carolina into
reproach as to its alignment
with the national Democracy,
adopted false and undemocratic
principles o n d promulgated
them in the name and under the
banner of Democracy; and
Whereas, the Democratic
masses of the State have been
grossly betrayed by men charg
ed with the party management,
who have usurped the rights
and used the machinery of the
party for selfish ends, a majori
ty of the so-called State Demo
cratic executive committee act
ually permitting another self-
constituted committee (only
claiming to represer t a faction
of a faction) to assume control
of the party management, and
in the most flagrant and offen
sive manner to disfranchise
thousands of true Democrats;
and
Whereas, a Ring has been or
ganized and is exercising 'most
arbitrary and tyrannical power,
to the utter subversion of the
will of the peeple, and thereby
depriving them of their political
rights; now therefore be it
Resolved, That we as true,
loyal and uncompromising Dem
ocrats, repudiate the Third,par
ty platform repeatedly (and at
the recent August State conven
tion of that faction now in pow
er) forced upon our party, and
hereby pledge our continued al
legiance to true Democratic
principles as enunciated at the
last national Democratic con
vention. We feel the absolute
necessity of a complete reor
ganization of the party in this
State and invite all true Demo
crats to assist us in its rehabili
tation and in the organization
of Democracy in South Caroli
na, squarely in line with sound
doctrine; be it
Further Resolved. That we
hereby invite the Democrats of
the State of South Carolina to
assemble at the court houses of
their respective counties on Sat
urday, the 15th day of Septem
ber, 1894, or at such other place
and manner as they may deter
mine,for the purpose of selecting

here on Tuesday morning of the gentative for the lower house
death of the Rev. William T
Capers, D. D.,which occurred at
Greenville on the previous day.
Dr. Capers was twice in charge
of the Methodist Church at Dar
lington, on each occasion for
several years at a time, and had
many friends here, who were
much saddened by the intelli
gence that they would see him
no more on earth. The story of
his long and useful career as a
minister of the Gospel will come
more fittingly from other pens
than ours; but to give the prop
er estimate of him as a man is
within the peculiar province of
one who loved him as a brother
Tender and affectionate in his
disposition, his bright and sun
ny nature made friends for him
wherever he went. Noble heart
ed Christian gentleman that he
was, his life was spent in doing
good to others, who will always
keep his memory green: his sick
ness and death were but the
rounding off of a pure and up
right existence. He had the
faith of a little child—a faith
which we believe is now “lost
in sight”. He came into the
world to brighten it; his mision
has been fulfilled, and he is
gone, leaving behind him a light
from his beautiful life and char
acter which is even now a con
solation to those who mourn his
loss, and which, when time has
